Services
At MetroWash, we provide both **pressure washing** and **soft washing** services — each method tailored to clean effectively without causing damage. While both techniques are used to remove dirt, mold, algae, and grime, the approach and appropriate application for each are quite different. Understanding the difference helps ensure the right method is used for the right surface.
Power Meets Performance
Pressure Washing
**What it is:**
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water—typically 2,500 to 4,000 PSI—to blast away tough buildup from hard surfaces. This method relies on sheer force to clean, often without the use of detergents.
**Ideal for:**
* Concrete driveways and sidewalks
* Parking lots and dumpster pads
* Brick, stone, and paver surfaces
* Industrial equipment
* Graffiti removal
**Benefits:**
* Removes heavy stains and caked-on debris
* Great for large, durable surfaces
* Fast and efficient for tough cleaning jobs
**Caution:**
High pressure can damage softer materials like wood, siding, and roofing. That’s where soft washing comes in.
Safe, Effective, Long Lasting
Soft Washing
**What it is:**
Soft washing uses low pressure—typically under 500 PSI—combined with specialized cleaning solutions to gently eliminate dirt, mildew, algae, and organic growth at the root level.
**Ideal for:**
* House siding (vinyl, wood, stucco)
* Roofs (asphalt shingles, tile, metal)
* Fences and decks
* Outdoor furniture
* Screen enclosures
**Benefits:**
* Protects delicate surfaces from damage
* Kills mold, algae, and bacteria at the source
* Leaves surfaces cleaner for longer
* Eco-friendly, biodegradable cleaning solutions
**Why it matters:**
Using the wrong method can result in costly damage or incomplete cleaning. Our trained professionals at Metro Wash assess each project to ensure the safest and most effective technique is used for your property.
